Resolution introduced by Mr.
Pike:
Whereas. 1t has been asserted in

Resolved by this Assembly, That
such charges or lDsinuations are
wholly groundless, and without any
foundation Of fact, and any state

Arbitration Among the Sandwiches
From the NetU York Trfbu,


Two sandwich men met in Broadway and
stopped to converse. One was little man with
a scraggly beard, the other was tall man and
bearded also. The little man bestowed green
hand bills on those of the passerS-by who would
accept them.
This summer weather is vary tryin' between
the boards" said the tall man, wiping the pers-
piration and dust out of his left eye with sec
ton of calico, ''and the half holiday racket
doesn't seem to hit our perfeshion at all"
Were going to get show, said the little
man emphatically. THE man wot does the
Queen of May on Fulton street was telling me
yesterday that the Queen of the Sandwiches is
here"
"You don't say So" said the tall man. with
much interest II didn't know there was any
sandwich wimmen, though the Bowery Sand
witch Mems Protective Union has been dom
some tall organizing lately"
My PLAN said the little man, skilfully ram
ming green hand-bill in the packet of an old
man who was passing. sis to have the Queen
call upon some Of the principal firms as employs
sandwich men and do little arbitratin for MS
while she was heres The best artists in the
sandwich perfession can scarcely make a Twin
nowadays, and new lodges pilin' on us all the
time. The two fellers wot does the wild Jnjun
act on Nassau street told me they had been or
dered to give warwhoops, one every ten min
utes durin bankin' hours. They want 15c. a day
more for whoopin and there it is. l tell yer
the whole business needs arbitratin'. and the
quicker the Queen gets in her work the better,
say and the little man frightened up his boards
and started down Fulton street to see if there
was any change in the warwhoop deadlock.

Effect of a Child's Tears.

From Washington Letter to the Baltimore Sun
The divorce case of Emma V. Clarke vs. Ju-
Illus Y. Clarke, came up before Judge Merrick,
in the Equity Court to-day, upon a rule against
Mr.. Clarke TO produce in court his two daugh-
tiers, one about II years and the other about 3
years old whom he had carried off from the
orphan asylum, where they had been placed by
their mother The return of the husband was
that the children We're his own, and that as his
wife had refused to live with him, and had put
the children into an asylum, he had taken them
in order to give them proper home. This was
denied, and Judge Merrick said he would have
to hear testimony before making decision, and
he would fix Friday next for the hearing, and in
the meanwhile, as the children were
in the custody of the father and
as he had the legal right to the care of
them, they might remain with him until further
orders. The 3-year-old listened attentively and
putting her arms around her mother. declared
she would never leave her The court urged
upon the mother the need of submission to the
lew, and she offered no objection, but the girl
still chung with tears and cries to her mother
and the scene excited much feeling in the court
ROOM Finally MIR. Cook, counsel for the hus-
band, said the father had consented that the
eldest child might go with her mother The
mother and girl were moving off when the
little 3-year-old Tot seeing her sister going
away set up with her tiny voice an argument
as loud as had ever been heard in that court
and quite as effective; for Mr.. Cook at once con
sented to let the child go with its mother IF it
would only stop crying and so the voice of
nature proved stronger than the orders of the
court The mother took both children, and the
case was adjourned until Friday next.

Grain Gambling.

No doubt many of those who were the
principals in the recent corners in coffee
and wheat suffered heavy losses. Nobody
sympathises with them, and the public
wouldn't experience any feelings of regret if
they lost every dollar they possessed. Gam
bling in articles of food, making it more
difficult for the poor to supply themselves
with the necessaries of life, is not to be com
mended. 1t is to be condemned and the
capitalists who combine to levy tribute
upon toiling millions are public enemies.
The price of June wheat dropped at Chi
cago in one day 1S15c a bushel, showing
that the price to which the ring had forced
it was fictitious. The claim that gam
bling in grain helps the farmer is without
much foundation. A few farmers NAV
get the highest price to which speculation
forces it, but by far the greater part of a
crop is sold at the lowest price which the
grain reaches after a ''corner'' in it is
broken. For instance, no wheat was OBJ
tanned for export for weeks before the Chi
cago corner" was broken, because the price
was higher in this country than in Europe.
but the very DAY the corner was DESTROYED
half million bushels We're bought for for
eign account at 7319c., not at &c at which
the ring held it. If it had not been for
speculation it is probable that the farmer
might have obtained considerably more
than 7315c., because when corner is broken
the price generally falls below its natural
level.
Grain gambling is injuring the farmer in
! another way. 1t is turning the attention of
wheat importing European countries to
other sources of supply. England is open
ing up the wheat fields of India and Austria
liza, and large part of her supply comes
from those countries now. Russia is becom-
ing large exporter of wheat. If grain
gambling continues the farmer may find
himself without market for a very large
part of his grain crop.
OF course these grain corners interfere
with many kinds of business. They check
transportation, interfere with the manufac-
ture of -four and prevent the expectation of
both flour and grain. While there does not
appear to be any way to stop grain gam
bling, there is not little satisfaction in
knowing that the grain gamblers frequently
descend from affiuence to poverty in a very
few days.

AN INDIANS sHRUNKEN HEAD.
A Relic of the Lost Arts-Hair That a
Broadway Belle Might Envy,
From he Netc York Evening SUI

From the NeU York Evening Sun.
Over 800 years ago an Indian chief, who ruled
over tribe on the Nopo river, near the head
waters of the Amazon, died. In accordance
with the custom of the tribe his head was cut
off and the skull split up the back. All the bones
were then removed from the head and the eyes
were taken out.
By some process known to the Indians of that
locality at that time the head was shrunk to
one-tenth of its original proportions, the face
retaining its color and the. flesh becoming as
hard as stone. BY reason of the stn1nkage the
hair becomes matted so closely together that it
is impossible to part it sufficiently TO reach the
scalp. One of these heads was shown to a re-
porter at the store of the Scott Stamp and Com
Company. on Broadway, this morning. A cor
respondent of the firm in Ecuador recently sent
the head to this city
The correspondent says that the knowledge
of how to preserve the heads is not known to
the Indians of the present day; that is one OF
the lost arts. The hair upon this miniature
head Is black and lustrous, and about fourteen
inches in length The lips protrude and are
punctured with holes, from which hang bunch
of Irvine.
A piece of Irvine is fastened to the top of the
head, which was evidently used to hang it up
tn the dwellings, of the Indians. These heads
are worshipped by the natives as gods, and they
can rarely be induced to part with one:
This specimen is the second that has been
secured so far and il is the only one In the
United States. The other one is in France. The
head is valued at $500. 1t is intended to put the
head on exhibition soon.
That the specimen is genuine there can be no
doubt, as the expression on the face has been
wonderfully preserved, and the cut made in the
back of the head and the stitches with which
the incision was closed are plain and distinct.
The hair is very fine, and apparently as glossy
as when its owner passed over to the MAJORITY.

The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun tells rather funny story about
the way two government clerks didn't fight
a duel. Thetwo clerks, one in the Treasury
and the other in the Post Office Department,
one from the North and one from the South,
met after Office hours and became engaged
in a religious discussion. The discussion
quickly developed into n red-hot dispute
over the Immaculate Conception, and words
anything else than religious, passed between
them. Finally the Southerner, deeming
himself grievously insulted. challenged his
opponent to fight duel The Northefner
retorted by telling the Southerner that if he
did not retract the challenge he would be
reported to the District Attorney for violat-
ing the anti-dueling law. The duel was not
fought

The MORNING NEWS viii begin the pub
hcation next Sunday of a very bright and
intensely interesting story, entitled mora
of the Adirondack" by Anne E. Ellis This
story was written for the MORNING NEWS,
and it will be found to be well worth read
ing. 1t contains thirty eight chapters, and
grows in interest with each chapter. The
Presidents annual fishing excursion to the
Adirondacks lends new interest to that sec
ton of country, and story in which some
of its features are described can hardly fail
to be appreciated.

The Interstate Commerce Decision.

The Interstate Commerce Decision.
1t is doubtful II many of the railroad
companies were disappointed by the decision
of the Interstate Commerce Commission not
to permanently suspend the fourth section of
the interstate commerce act. They had no
strong reason to expect that the commission
would take the responsibility of suspending
il, although they presented some very con-
vincing arguments III favor of its Suspen-
sion No doubt an effort viii he made to
induce Congress to repeal it, and in order to
secure facts upon which to base request
for its repeal it is probable that
no attempt will be made to evade it.
If there are railroad companies which
cannot comply with it and maintain their
solvency-and it is asserted that there are IA
great many of them--CongreSs probably will
grant them relief by modifying it, or re-
pealing it altogether, but before Congress
does anything of that kind it viii have to be
satisfied by facts, drawn from the expert
ences of the complaining companies work
ing under the law, that the interests which
the fourth section threatens to destroy are
far greater than those which it promises to
benefit.
In view of the fact that the railroad com
panies entertain very different views as TO
the meaning of the interstate law, and as
these views are of a necessity not in har-
mony with those expressed by the Interstate
Commission, it is probable that the near
future will witness quite a large crop of
lawsuits. The railroad companies are told
that they must depend upon their own in
depreciation of the law, and take their
chances of being hauled up before the COM
mission or called into the courts to answer
complaints of violations of it, Up to the
present time there have been few,
if any, complaints, because there has been
sort of tacit agreement to wait for the de-
cision of the commission on points pre-
sented to it, but now that the decision has
been received and the railroad companies
are informed that they must act on their
own Judgment and responsibility, it would
not be surprising if complaints, both reason
able and unreasonable, were heard on all
sides. If Congress doesn't interfere, it is
safe to predict that it will be long while
before railroads and shippers reach an
understanding upon which the transporta-
ton business of the country can be con-
Quoted without great and constant friction.

the petition to the Pope for the restoration

have issued the following official declaration
1T has been decided to abandon the project
of sending petition to Rome in reference

his friends having expressed their strongest
approval of this step. The petition sheets
